¡Buenas, buenas!
Hoy, we're bringing you a simple-but-super-effective trick to help you tackle the pronunciation of the verb hacer (to do). We've always found that its easier to remember stuff with mnemonic devices, especially if their funny:
If we break up 'hacer' into two parts we're left with the sounds 'ass' and 'er'.
So basically, 'ass,' the raunchy word for butt and 'er,' like a stutter.
We can also use this trick for some of hacer's conjugations. Here's a list to refresh your memory:
Hacer
Yo hago
Tu haces
El hace
Nosotros hacemos
Vosotros hacéis
Ellos hacen
With the exception of hago, which we can break up into 'ah' (like a pause) and 'go!' (like advance), all of these conjugations could be ass-related.
Haces - Asses (plural of ass)
Hace - Ass, eh?
Hacemos - Ass, eh +mos
Hacéis - Ass + ace (like an ace of spades)
Hacen - Ass + the letter 'n'
Remember these ass-related tricks and you'll be pronouncing like a native in no time.
